Up2You Cafe Reviewed

      After learning about this cafe and reading about it, My Girlfriend and I had high expectations for this place. The customization and pictures made this seem like the place to be. Sadly after trying it out, it just does not compare to other places we have tried.

     For starters, this cafe was actually pretty difficult to find. Convoy St does have quite a few places to eat but this one was tucked in a corner kinda right behind a large auto dealership. The initial vibe you get is very alley like. The parking was not the greatest and on a busy day would be very difficult to find a spot close. Upon entrance into the cafe, you notice the decor was set to try and accomplish 5 settings or so at the same time. it felt as if they might have been trying too hard to appeal to everyone. Aside from that it was pretty roomy, lots of sitting and a couch here and there to lounge. They offered cards and some games to play while you ate and hung out so that was nice.

     Upon ordering you have about 3 basic starters, brick toast, crepes, and waffles. From there you build out with an assortment of toppings from fruits to cheesecakes bites. I went ahead and went with the brick toast with Nutella, strawberries, Oreos and cheesecake with a scoop of vanilla. For a drink I had a regular milk tea with boba which was served in a Mason Jar. The Toast was good, crispy outside and soft inside, but it did not stand out at all. Especially for the price you pay for the toppings it got pricey fast. If I have it a rating out of 10 we are looking at maybe a 5. The Milk tea was also okay. I feel like there are much better options out there. When you first try it, it had a very interesting taste... Only after letting it settle did it start to come around.

     My Girlfriend ordered the crepe with Nutella, bananas, strawberries, chocolate ice cream and Oreos. This was where my expectation for the cafe hit the floor. When her order was ready, she went up to pick it up only to realize they forgot to put the strawberries inside the crepe itself and offered it to her in a small bowl. Not exactly what she wanted but shes a very accommodating person. When she got back to her seat she went and tried the ice cream only to realize they gotten that wrong as well. they ended up using coffee ice cream. She went back again and instead of offering to redo the plate they just gave her a scoop of chocolate in another small bowl. To me, I find this to be terrible service. She was not happy with this and neither was I.

    Over all the food and drink here was not that great. We probably will not be going back and we do not recommend it to others. I like to give the benefit of the doubt and maybe they were having an off day, but to fumble twice and make no actual amends for the service is enough to warrant a bad review. Our score over all out of 10... a resounding 2.
